Welcome back to *The Season of Self-Love* podcast! I’m your host, Nyomi Banks, and today’s episode continues our *Living Life Abundantly* series. In this powerful episode, we dive deep into finding joy and abundance in everyday life, even during times of grief and hardship. Life has a way of throwing challenges our way, but we have the power to choose how we embrace each moment, and today’s guest, Marie Alessi, is here to show us how to navigate loss, embrace joy, and live abundantly in all circumstances.

Marie is a best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and a beacon of hope and resilience.

Through her journey, Marie found profound ways to redefine grief and discover the hidden gifts in adversity.
